SlideAI is a command-line tool for building Quarto/RevealJS slide decks. It handles the repetitive parts of presentation creation — scaffolding a new deck, capturing screenshots from live web pages, and rendering to HTML or PDF — so you can focus on the content.
View Sample Slides →Create a new deck — Start a presentation from a template with consistent styling already wired up. Optionally pass a bulleted outline and SlideAI will generate a slide for each topic.
Capture screenshots as slides — Point SlideAI at one or more URLs and it will screenshot each page, save the images, and insert them into your deck as full-image slides. It auto-scrolls to the first meaningful content (charts, tables, plots) before capturing.
Render — Render your .qmd deck to HTML (RevealJS) or PDF with a single command.
Watch — Monitor your deck for changes and automatically re-render as you edit.
npm install

/newslides quarterly-review — Scaffold a new deck called "quarterly-review"/newslides site-metrics --outline "- Traffic\n- Engagement\n- Conversions" — Create a deck pre-populated from an outline/slidess https://my-dashboard.example.com — Screenshot a dashboard and add it as a slide/slidehtml — Render the current deck to HTML/slidepdf — Render to PDF for sharing/slidewatch — Watch for changes and auto-render while editingEvery command is also available as a programmatic JavaScript function that returns structured results. See the agent/ directory for full skill definitions with inputs, outputs, and error conditions.
